ESS European Spallation Source is a proposal by COBE and Henning Larsen designed in 2012 and completed in 2025. It is located in Lund Sweden in a campus setting. Its scale is extralarge with a surface of 100.000 sqm. Key material is metal. Luxigon collaborated as visualizer. Concepts such as reflexion usable roof sustainability infrastructure and nature are explored. Review the 2 proposals for the same competition.

Located in the university city of Lund in southern Sweden, the European Spallation Source will be the world’s largest, most advanced research facility for neutron-based research. The architecture is inspired by one of the most important elements in the spallation process, the tungsten disc. The disc and the tungsten metal are used as visual metaphors that mark the centre of the research facility: a large, circular roof above the hall that holds the tungsten disc. This will become a point of orientation for the campus area at ESS, and it will make ESS stand out in relation to the research facility MAX IV and Lund Science Village next to the site.
